CALIF - SAVE THE DATE ----> JANUARY 9th

January 9^th join Campaign for a Healthy California in a joint actions with the California Health Professional Student Association and many others to fight for healthcare for the 99%!  In January our state senators will vote on SB 810, California's universal healthcare bill to provide single-payer healthcare. With the California deficit looming, what better way to cut the State's healthcare budget up to half, but to implement single payer! Please join us and call on legislators to take a stand in California. In both Sacramento and Los Angeles, we'll have  at a New Orleans-style funeral march and rally and a creative action at an insurance industry giant. Please join us for statewide day of action and push legislators to decide which side they are on!
